Least Common Multiple of 1006 and 1016 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 1006 and 1016, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(1006,1016) = 2
LCM(1006,1016) = ( 1006 × 1016) / 2
LCM(1006,1016) = 1022096 / 2
LCM(1006,1016) = 511048
